Research Code

To preserve scientific integrity, the Board of Directors of the UMCG has drawn up a Research Code. The UMCG Research Code provides researchers with guidelines for conducting medical research in a correct and ethical fashion. Everyone who conducts research at the UMCG and all UMCG employees who conduct research elsewhere in the world, are expected to be familiar with the Code and to act in accordance with its rules of conduct. The Research Code is based on the following principles:

Honesty & scrupulousness

Reliability

Verifiability

Impartiality

Independence

Responsibility
